Mick Hucknall and Stereophonics are among a group of artists who have announced plans to cover the Beatles' debut album. On 11 February, a gang of jamming musicians will revisit all 14 songs on Please Please Me, with the results airing on BBC Radio 2.

Recording will take place at Abbey Road, the same studios where the Beatles worked in 1963. Throughout the 12-hour project, Radio 2's Jo Whiley will check in with fellow DJ Stuart Maconie, discussing the process, listening to samples, and talking to some of the original Please Please Me contributors, including engineer Richard Langham and former Beatles press officer Tony Barrow.

This new session will take place exactly 50 years after John, Paul, George and Ringo went into studio with George Martin. Ten of the LP's 14 tracks were recorded in a day, in nine hours and 45 minutes. It hit the charts about a month later, spending 30 consecutive weeks at No 1.

Please Please Me "changed the world of pop music," said Bob Shennan, controller for BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music. "[Its] re-creation … promises to be one of Radio 2's stand-out moments of 2013. Hearing those tracks brought to life again with a contemporary twist will have the network buzzing as much as the original did."

Plans for the re-recording coincide with a new Please Please Me documentary, airing on BBC Four on 15 February, and BBC Radio's The Golden Age of the Album campaign, which takes place throughout the month.
